After months of mudslinging and vitriol, US President-elect Donald Trump was greeted this week by a chummy President Obama with a cozy fireside seat at the White House. Some media outlets sniped at Trump’s surprise election calling him the “first reality TV star to become president”. In truth, the whole US political system seems to be a reality TV show.

In the weeks up to polling day on November 8, Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton and large sections of the US media were denouncing Trump as a “Russian stooge”. Trump’s alleged friendliness towards Russian President Vladimir Putin was said to be proof that the Republican candidate was a “Kremlin agent”.

Think about it. How could Trump be painted one day as a beneficiary of Russian espionage, and then the next day literally, he is being feted as the “45th president of the USA” – whom, as Obama says, “we are rooting for”?

For his part, Donald Trump also plays a starring role in the US democracy charade. During their fireside meeting in the White House, the billionaire property tycoon called Obama a “very good man” and said that he would seek his counsel in the future.

This is the same “very good man” whom Trump had earlier accused of being the “creator of the ISIS [Daesh] terror group”.

Trump’s polite deference to Obama this week, and vice versa, shows in an unintended way what Obama meant when he said “we are all on one team”. That “team” is the American oligarchy. It is not the American nation. Disenfranchised working-class Americans may simply have gotten Trump into the “team” – against their genuine aspirations for radical democratic change…>>>…

U.S. President Barack Obama has just given the Pentagon orders to assassinate commanders of the Al-Nusra terror network in Syria. American media reports over the weekend say the new urgency arises from US intelligence fears that al Qaeda-affiliated groups are preparing to mount terror attacks against Western targets from strongholds in Syria.

The purported U.S. «kill list» will be acted on through drone strikes and «intelligence assets». The latter refers, presumably, to U.S. special forces that are already operating in northern Syria alongside Turkish military.

The US is supporting al Nusra, despite the latter being an internationally proscribed terrorist organization at the heart of the so-called American «war on terror».

That charge has been corroborated by claims made by Nusra commanders who say that they have been receiving covert weapons supplies from the Americans. It is also substantiated by recent finds of US weaponry among terrorist dens that have been over-run by the Syrian Arab Army.

So, the question is: what is this latest urgency from the Pentagon to wipe out Nusra’s leadership in Syria really about?

First, let’s note that the implied precision of terrorist «kill lists» that the Americans and British are suddenly working on seems incongruous given that these NATO powers have up to now apparently been unable to furnish Russia with coordinates for extremist bases in Syria.

The Russian Ministry of Defense disclosed last week that the Americans have not provided a single scrap of information on the location of terrorist groups in Syria…>>>…

THE EVIDENCE OF THE DIFFERENT ROLES, THE RUSSIAN ONE AND OF THE U.S. ALLIANCE, IN ‘THE REAL’ AND ‘THE FALSE’ FIGHT AGAINST TERRORISM.

1) – Six long-range bombers took off from Russia and carried out successful airstrikes against Islamic State targets near the Syrian city of Palmyra, the Russian Defense Ministry has said.
“On August 8, 2016, six Tu-22M3 long-range bombers, coming from Russian territory, performed a concentrated airstrike with high-explosive ammunition against the facilities of Islamic State [IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL] in areas east and northwest of Palmyra, near the settlements of Es Sukhne and Arak,” the ministry said in a statement.
According to the ministry, a control center and large terrorist training camp were destroyed in the bombardment near Es Sukhne.
“In the area surrounding Palmyra and Arak, control centers, underground storage of ammunition and weaponry, three infantry fighting vehicles, 12 off-road vehicles with heavy machine guns and a large number of enemy personnel were destroyed,” the Defense Ministry said.
The Russian bombers successfully returned to base after executing their combat mission.

2) – Illegal incursion: 1st photo evidence allegedly appears of British presence in Syria
Photos purporting to depict British special forces operating on the Syria-Iraq border are believed to be the first photo evidence of UK troops on the ground in Syria. The pictures show heavily armed troops in patrol vehicles near a recent battle scene.
Obtained by the BBC and published on Monday, the photos show several UK patrol vehicles with troops perched atop them and several heavy-duty military trucks in a half-circle, which appear to be watching the perimeter.
The photos are believed to have been taken in June in the aftermath of an Islamic State (IS, ISIS/formerly ISIL) attack on the New Syrian Army, so-called “moderate” rebels, around the Al Tanaf base in Syria, which is on the Iraqi border.

The UK government have published possibly the most hair-brained and contradictory mendacious pretext yet to try and invade Syria, by claiming it would be in ‘defense’ of errr…90km of Turkey’s southern border with Syria.

The UK have no military mandate to ‘protect’ Turkey’s southern border with Syria, let alone by illegally invading Syria, while pointedly not wanting to secure Europe’s external border with Turkey.

In practice all the military ‘manoeuvering’ and war propaganda in the US-led Genocidal war on Syria, has only ever been about trying to secure military ‘leverage’ in administrative elections in Syria.

The falsity of the US-led coalition was always obvious given the inclusion of the unelected likes of the Saudis & Qataris.

UPDATE:

The UK NATO war propaganda for the simple-minded that defies all logic and law has nevertheless had to admit that the Syrian army has advanced to protect it’s border from a NATO invasion by the US, UK & Turkey.

This is the very same allegedly all seeing big brother super-sized NATO that would have everyone believe it did not have a single helicopter in the air, to track an alleged errr…terrorist in a BMW in Brussels.

The best that the US & UK war criminals can hope for is Putin saving their bacon, because it is not at all ‘complicated’ that the US et al have no special rights in Syria over and above the universally recognised Syrian government.

The savage US & EU have long pushed the envelope too far slaughtering civilian populations all in the name of claiming some unknown administrative ‘authority’ in the Middle East to collect…rubbish, build…roads…

Resource wars have been used to try and keep civilian populations under the murderous thumb of big business for too long.

NATO states could not conduct illegal wars without their bought and paid for corporate propagandists committing the criminal act of publishing war propaganda with the specific purpose of causing the murder of civilians for financial profit.

In fact what is not properly publicly declared is that many ‘journalists’ are actually employed by the British government through (zero) intelligence services, as a means to try and give the British government (il)legal cover by pretending they did not deliberately mislead the public themselves.

This is to notify the Independent that they reasonably know they are committing a criminal offence by inciting the murder of civilians through the use of war propaganda that supports a US, UK & Turkish invasion of Syria.

On August 2, Britain’s Sunday Express newspaper headlined “SAS dress as ISIS fighters in undercover war on jihadis,” saying:

“More than 120 members belonging to the elite regiment are currently in the war-torn country” covertly “dressed in black and flying ISIS flags,” engaged in what’s called Operation Shader – attacking Syrian targets on the pretext of combatting ISIS.

UK SAS forces are in Saudi Arabia training anti-Assad terrorists along with US operatives doing the same thing – including in Turkey, Jordan, Qatar and perhaps Israel.

US and UK claims about training so-called “moderate” rebels reflect smoke-screen cover for working directly with ISIS terrorists – trained, armed and funded abroad, funneled cross-border into Syria to fight Assad, now with US/UK and Canadian air support along with covert commandos on the ground.

The British Parliament has been exposed trying to very quietly try and block legal challenges to their waging war on Syria.

The facts are the ‘Defence’ Secretary Michael Fallon dishonestly asserted off the Parliamentary record at the RUSI that he had legal grounds to use the false pretext of ‘surveillance’ to wage war in Syria without any vote, while the Tory & Labour MP’s David Davis and Tom Watson dishonestly portrayed their court order could stop legal challenges to ‘surveillance’ operations until the end of March 2016.

the entire apparatus of the british parliament and mainstream media are working together to try and avoid any legal challenge that can only expose the UK will never have any legal grounds to invade syria

Fallon, Davis and Watson were all acting on behalf of the entire British Parliament.

British ‘surveillance’ would realize they were rumbled with the three words…International Criminal Court.

Indeed why would any civilian wait for the British Parliament to go any further when no legal grounds of any kind have been produced for what is intended to be a British invasion of Syria?

So the war criminal Lord Ken MacDonald who Chairs ‘Reprieve’ (who really run interference over British government mercenaries like Begg, Belhaj & Co) then pretended today that Reprieve had filed an FOI request that ‘revealed’ the British government had already deployed the British military in Syria on bombing raids.

The British government peculiarly recently ‘announced’ in the ‘media’ not in the British Parliament, which was by no co-incidence shut down for ‘elections’ that day that British soldiers were going to try to ‘train’ what would really become a NATO ground invasion force for Syria launched from Turkey.

We asked the obvious question (in writing) to which there has inevitably yet been no legal written response from the British government, over what legal grounds there are to train what in legal terms are terrorists in Turkey, who the British government could not train in Britain… … …

… … …The plotting includes trying to put greater pressure on President Assad in Damascus (via Yarmouk, which should largely fail) while ridiculously trying to pretend a de-facto ‘government’ of white-washed terrorists can set up ‘state’ in Idlib to call for help from NATO… … …

… … … The simultaneous pronouncements that the US and Turkey are putting their overt terrorist ‘training’ scheme ‘on hold’ until May while Turkish ‘intelligence’ wants to blame any terror attacks on the Syrian government only proves that the European arm of NATO don’t have any legal grounds to be involved in the launch of any illegal ground invasion of Syria from Turkey.

It is obvious that Turkey blaming the Syrian government for any false flag terror attacks which is a very hard sell, is only designed to try and find a false pretext for the European arm of NATO to join a US & Turkish ground invasion of Syria… … …

In amongst the legal ducking and diving of NATO all over the place over their undeclared War on Syria, the legal grounds of one administrative authority (the UK in the EU) transferring military power for use to/under the control of a second country (Turkey) to militarily affect a third country (Syria) without their consent, remains non-existent.

The central issue of importance is that the UK (and for that read EU) incredibly wants to train ‘Syrian’ terrorists who unlike the British military will act completely outside any pretence of legal accountability in any British or European court of law.

The whole Guardian NATO propaganda over Swiss Bank accounts that inevitably includes an anti-Syrian government smear campaign, has a rather humungous hole in their whole story called the errr..City of London money launderette.

The real ‘intrigue’ involves Mr Rothschild’s bagman Anthony Salz at the Guardian who is illegally trying to cover up the paper trail of filthy lucre, funneled through the entire City of London who set up the whole colonial Middle East ATM oil machine.

After all the proverbial Guardian storm could easily be solved by (for example) one tax on the luxury goods civilian populations can afford to buy which would then more than adequately fund agreed public services, instead of just increasing the bank balances of Mr Rothschild & Co.

The Daily Mail insults people’s intelligence by suggesting that their latest Tory rent boy cum banker, Osama Bin Macer Gifford (Jnr) who worked for a Tory MP is anything other than a mercenary terrorist trying to progress the British government’s dirty War on Syria.

Unsurprisingly the Daily Mail forgot to mention a jury in a court of law could only ever conclude that Macer Gifford ‘Consultant’ is illegally promoting the NATO War on Syria no doubt just like someone with the same name who could easily be his Daddy who just happens to be a banker working ‘intimately’ with the British government on their ‘banking stabilization’ program.

Modern communication is such that there are known knowns that it is possible for sentient human beings to practically address.
The best gift decent and civilized people in the US & EU could really give to the brave Syrian people this Christmas, is to restore the people’s rule of law to it’s rightful place above ‘politics’ and ‘news’ media ‘opinions’ in the US & EU.
The plausibility of ideologues and their endless ‘news’ media soundbites that misrepresent, ignore, trivialize or try to replace the people’s rule of law that exists to protect life, with any ‘opinion’, however outrageous, is coming to an end.

Russian and Iranian ‘news’ media have managed to make some inroads into successfully countering the challenging nature of both mainstream and alternative US & EU ‘news’ media which typically only engages in the ‘opinions’ of the lowest common denominator that is necessary for it’s own survival… … … Bombarded with lurid, misrepresented, and sometimes simply fabricated, stories about Assad’s brutality – and equally whitewashed accounts of the rebel forces – from the British media, hundreds of British Muslims responded to the propaganda campaign by going to join the valiant “freedom fighters” Cameron had been applauding so loudly… … …What the people in Syria really want and need is for NATO and their allies and all their humanitarian ‘aid’ agencies to leave and take their….terrorists with them…
